Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Mar 24, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 1,973 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 919 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 570 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 14% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (499). Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 570 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 499 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |

| All reported collisions | 8 | |
| With an injury | 1 | |
| Property damage only | 4 | |
| Fail to remain | 3 | |

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.
Speeds here, last measured in 2022
On Tamworth Rd between Betty Ann Dr and Ellerslie Ave, 178 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in December 2013 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 51 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Park Home Ave between Tamworth Rd and Blenheim St measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 50 km/h (Aug 2022) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Park Home Ave · Tamworth Rd – Blenheim St · 164 m | Aug 2022 · 3 days | 2,159 | 42 km/h | 50 km/h | 55 km/h |
| Tamworth Rd · Betty Ann Dr – Ellerslie Ave · 178 m | Dec 2013 · 24 h | 2,277 | 43 km/h | 51 km/h | 55 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
